Mr. Justice Thornton

¶1delivered the opinion of the Court:

¶2This suit was instituted upon a written contract tó deliver corn, and damages are claimed for its breach.

¶3A plea of tender was interposed, averring a tender of money after the commencement of the suit, to which a demurrer was sustained.

¶4The damages to be recovered were for a breach of the contract, and were unliquidated.

¶5In such case this court has decided, in Cilley v Hawkins, 48. Ill. 309, that a plea of tender is not a good plea, either at common law or under our statute.

¶6The demurrer was properly sustained, and the judgment is affirmed.

¶7Judgment affirmed.
